According to address@hidden on 5/20/2008 8:47 PM:

Which version of rm are you using, and under which windows port? Also,
are you running this under cmd.exe or under a Unix-y shell such as bash?
By default, \ behaves differently in these shells; the problem may stem
from using a shell that interprets \ as a quoting character rather than a
directory separator.
At any rate, I would recommend using the cygwin port of coreutils, since I
know it is more likely to be up-to-date. There you would type this as "rm
/cygdrive/z/aa.dll /cygdrive/z/_aa.dll", in either cmd.exe or bash.
Further questions on this matter are probably better directed to a mailing
list that deals specifically with porting GNU code to Windows, such as
cygwin or mingw; this list does not focus much on the quirks of running
GNU software on Windows.
